WATCH: Jessica Tarlov Attacks Trump On ‘The Five’, Gets Humiliated By Gutfeld
Jessica Tarlov got cooked on Fox News’ “The Five” program earlier this week after declaring former President Donald Trump “lucky” for earning billions from the company that owns Truth Social going public.
Fellow hosts Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters combined arguments to make for a tag team smackdown of Tarlov’s assertion that Trump continues to skirt the hands of justice time after time.
“Listen, I have always said this: Donald Trump gets really lucky,” said the liberal commentator, prompting across-the-board scorn from her peers.
“Oh is that what it is?” Jeanine Pirro shot back.

“What have you built, Jessica?” Gutfeld asked as Watters could be heard adding, “Here we go!”
“I love it when people who have a media footprint pretend to know how things are built,” Gutfeld continued. “I don’t know how things are made.”
“I know when something is doing well that people want to be on it,” she stammered back about Truth Social.
“He’s lucky! It’s lucky!” Gutfeld said, waving his arms in pure mockery.
Trump’s haters are grasping at straws as Truth Social’s initial public offering soared on its first day of trading, netting the former president between $3.5 and $6 billion in new net worth. The trend continued on the stock’s second day of trading under $DJT, rising $8.23, or 14.2%, to $66.22 on Wednesday according to CBS News.
While some of the company’s stock has the “makings of a meme stock,” according to financial analyst Ben Emons at NewEdge Wealth, it also carries real implications for how a second Trump term would be seen.
“For global macro investors, DJT will be a proxy for how markets price Trump 2.0 policies,” said Emons.
On Monday President Trump told reporters his latest public company is “hot as a pistol and doing great,” stoking the flames of a growing desire to own a piece of the Trump empire. The sale comes on the heels of a successful appeal by the Republican’s legal team to drastically reduce his bond owed in his New York real estate case.
Other sources of income for President Trump include his legal defense fund, which has continuously spent on his various suits since the 2020 election, according to the New York Times, and a super PAC that is coordinating with the Republican National Committee as his campaign seeks to merge its operations with the GOP ahead of his expected nomination to take on President Joe Biden.
